(managed to get a sneak peak at the pricing list)...BFII F6 - Ext to a 5 Yr with 300,000 kms (I think it was) - $1200 (roughly)...Its not a 'dealer' warranty - but backed by Ford... I believe the old form of this was underwritten by Swann, the new one is under written by Allianz (I think)... Runs across the board through all dealers nationally.... So if you pay for it with Garlick's or Alto - and the car dies in Melbourne goes to City Ford in Melbourne there is no questions or problems with who pays or claim numbers... Maybe someone else knows a bit more info - it was a few weeks ago that I saw and heard about this actually becoming official... Roomers have been floating around for a few months that I know of...Doesnt seem to badly priced if it is actually 100% the same as the standard warranty...Thoughts anyone?

They told me no dealers in sydney offered the official ford extended warranty.for $1200 I might give it a go, if I can find a dealer to give me more details. I don't want to have to get my car serviced at a dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR64T Are we there yet? Donating Members 703 Member For: 21y 1m 30d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 08/11/09 01:50 AM Share Posted 08/11/09 01:50 AM There was a 3 day sale on about a month or two back that was offering 5 year (200,000km) Ford factory warranty with all new sales. I am pretty sure all dealers were invloved (I know Peter Warren was), so it may have been a sounding board to see if there was public interest in a permanent extended warranty option.

Pete A Member 442 Member For: 15y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill NSW Posted 10/11/09 10:31 AM Share Posted 10/11/09 10:31 AM Just saw an ad on TV offering 5 year extended warranty as a new car deal. So it's on! We all should look into it $1,200 bucks for 2 years is not a bad deal. But it must be total cover and provided by dealers. I really don't trust these 3rd party extended warranty deals.
